That was the buzz after this run. Listening to it there are some might sweet treats on this night.
The Slipknot! alone is worth the prices of admission.
There are some missteps, the transition into Franklin's and jumping right into Tennessee Jed after a reflective instrumental of Stella Blue.
The Alligator is very nice as it is "phishified".

Set two has Trey stepping up and out big time. He really explodes during The Eleven and Unbroken Chain. This version is before the dramatic long build up ending and Page is stellar on it.
The Scarlet is another gem.

You do realize how much Kimock and Phil enjoyed playing off each other and hopefully that fence will be mended some day and they will play together again.
Molo is a beast the entire night.

Subject: Caspian
The "Prince Caspian" jam is the highlight for me. Listening to those guitars meet and swirl around each other at such a skyscraping height, and Phil navigating the whole thing is otherworldly (for lack of a better term).

Phish meets the Dead-- and the blend is potent.
Ambitious setlist (WYWH four songs in!)
Perfect sound.
Thank you to everyone involved.

Superb Scarlet>Fire. Feels like they rehearsed it.

Giving it 5 stars because when you compare it to other PL&F concerts it is a stand out show. Could be the best ever. Heck the guitar work trumps a lot of the later GD stuff. I know that's heresy but its true.

Oh Ya .... 24-track>DAT rules. Just get this version.

Subject: "Flawless"
I'm reviewing this show because the latest reviews of this night have been reviews of an inferior recording.

Charlie Miller called this 24-track mix "flawless" waaaaaay back in '05.

So,it is clear that this is the copy to hear and DL.

These day, it is vital to click "check for other copies" before you listen, DL or review.

Subject: Downhill from here for P&F
While certainly not flawless, this was the highlight of the three nights and my pick for best P&F show. Check out the dueling guitar jam in the Help on the Way, then the Franklin's Tower, Alligator and Bertha. Those are the highlights.

The Stella was a had to be there moment, imo. Which I was, so I'm a fan. It's my favorite composition by Jerry and Hunter, so I was touched by the tip of the hat. I was also annoyed when the went to the vocal arrangement with Warren Haynes later. I thought a one-time-only instrumental tribute was the way to go.

if you dont have these warfield 99 april run, (15,16,17)

Reviewer: capn doubledose - - February 7, 2006
Subject: ONE OF THE BEST DL'S ON THIS WHOLE SITE
I have heard hundreds of shows and this one stands alone. Required listening for anyone into good music. Agree with others they never try to emulate Jerry and bring their own superior musical talent to bear in this.

Reviewer: trippingsnake - - April 6, 2005
Subject: great stuff
wow, this is really good. This lineup creates such a great sound. Its not as nostalgic and boring as the current 'the dead' or Phil Lesh and Friends. Its got its own flavor. I love how Trey and Steve arent really trying to imitate jerry's style on these songs. These are guys who love the dead and are are playing there own stylistic interpretations of the songs. It really flows and sounds excellent. By far the best project old Phil has ever done outside the dead. The shows with this lineup are absolute gems. Listen to this show, its almost impossible not to love.
